Suspect gives police multiple names

(Jan. 23, 2014) A man identified last week as Earle Bedward was brought in to Nantucket District Court Monday at first as a “John Doe,” since officers had received multiple names from the man before finally discerning his real identity. Kamar Hamilton, 28, of 7 Cynthia Lane, was arraigned on Jan. 19 charges of a licenseplate violation, unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, and furnishing a false name or Social Security number to a police officer.

On Sunday, an officer pulled over Hamilton’s vehicle on Park Circle after noticing the vehicle’s plate lights were not working and the license plate was dark. When the officer asked Hamilton for identification, he said he did not have his license with him but that his name was Michael Thompson and his date of birth was Oct. 9, 1985.
